Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

How long has it been since you sat down and talked with Fudecai?

Yang Dongxu can't remember this time clearly. He only remembers that when Fu Decai stepped down from executive director to just being a shareholder because of a personal scandal, the two had less and less time for private conversations.

So when there were only two people left in the office, the atmosphere suddenly became silent, and neither of them knew what topic to talk about.

"Do you have any plans recently?" Yang Dongxu was the first to break the silence.

"I don't have any specific plans. I was mainly discussing things in a meeting with Uncle Six and the others some time ago." Fu Decai said with a smile.

Although his status in Haina has plummeted, after all, he is a shareholder of Haina. At the same time, he has undeniable contributions to Haina's current status, so he still has a say in some matters in the entertainment industry.

And it was precisely because his status in Haina began to become embarrassing that his status in the circle in Hong Kong unexpectedly began to improve. Perhaps those competitors in Haina wanted to find a breakthrough in him to defeat a

The mountain that weighed on delivery was lifted.

It’s just that this idea seems to be a wishful thinking now, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan has begun to lose its ability to continue, or that there is a gap in the ladder of star cultivation.

It's not that they don't want to promote newcomers. While major entertainment companies are stabilizing the old people to attract money for themselves, they are also actively expanding contracts for newcomers, but things are just so strange.

In the past, when newcomers were not praised but only exploited, excellent newcomers emerged one after another. As far as the current Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are concerned, almost all of them have worked their way from the grassroots level step by step to achieve their current status.

But now we spend a lot of energy and resources to support them, and there are even big names like top stars taking them to film. However, only a few young people who have been promoted in recent years can be considered worthy, and the others can only be regarded as slightly famous.

, and then it’s like it’s stuck, no matter how hard you push it, it just won’t get hot.

Some people say that the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan has gone from glory to decline because it was too arrogant and not proactive, or because the world's entertainment industry has developed too fast and Hong Kong and Taiwan have fallen behind.

But in the final analysis, the reason is that there is a gap in the star echelon. In terms of newcomers in the past two years, there are really not many good ones. Take female stars as an example. At the beginning, there were Mei Yanfang, Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi and others.

After that, Zhang Manyu, Qiu Shuzhen, and Wang Zu, who quit the film and television industry last year and came back, etc. But this year, Zhang Baizhi became popular with the movie "Sing Ye", and basically none of the other female stars could make it to the stage.

It’s even less important to talk about male celebrities, whether it was Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, or the four kings later, or even Nick Cheung and Louis Koo, who are now being praised by Hainer.

Not only are the number of female stars smaller than before, but their reputations have also become less popular with each generation. As for male stars, since the Four Heavenly Kings, no matter how popular their dramas are and how popular they are, they still feel a little less interesting.

Even the people that Haina strongly supports give people this feeling, let alone other entertainment companies. For example, the popularity of Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue and others supported by other companies is even lower than the current popularity of Nick Cheung and Louis Koo.

Therefore, many people in the circle feel that the Hong Kong entertainment industry still seems to be full of stars. After all, there are so many big stars not only in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Mainland, but also in the whole of Asia. They have absolute box office appeal. But we are looking at the newcomers.

There is always a sense of decline in a generation as the sun sets over the mountains.

"Three feet of ice did not freeze overnight. There is no doubt that the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles took the right path before. The current stars who are so popular are also evidence of this. But it is precisely because they are too successful that I think

When it was time to change, I realized that the ship was too big, and it could not be easily turned around by just one or two people saying the change, or even by the people on the ship."

"I know this, but I can't do it without a change. Now, the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles feel like they are resting on their laurels." Fu Decai said helplessly.

In fact, what Yang Dongxu said was quite harmonious. In fact, not everyone on the ship wanted to turn around, or in other words, many people on the ship were still preventing the big ship from turning around.

The glorious Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles have produced many predators, and these predators are currently at the helm of this big ship. They can still draw far and constant funds from this ship.

And it is very obvious that not every big crocodile can be as far-sighted as Uncle Six and is willing to give up part of their profits to replenish fresh blood. They are eager to swallow all the cakes that are now starting to become thin.

Why do entertainment companies from Hong Kong and Taiwan in later generations move to the mainland? This is of course directly related to the development of the mainland, but more importantly, the entertainment circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan are too controlled by these giants. The entertainment companies of the next generation can only come to the mainland.

Opportunities. This is why most of the people coming to the mainland are new entertainment companies, while traditional entertainment companies from Hong Kong and Taiwan are not so active.

"Taiwan is experimenting with variety shows. If I have time to sit down with Uncle Six, I can mention this." If you are poor, you can change, and Taiwan has done a very good job in this regard.

In both TV series and movies, Hong Kong initially crushed Taiwan. Later, with the popularity of the Qiong Yao drama, Taiwan came back in TV series but was still at a disadvantage. Needless to say, movies were basically beaten.

Therefore, in this situation of being completely suppressed, although costume dramas have achieved certain success, Taiwan later began to turn away from youth idol dramas. Movies were really unable to do so, and people began to switch to variety shows instead of movies.

These two changes seem to be helpless moves, but they also confirm the old saying, the tree moves the dead and the person moves the life. Taiwan's entertainment industry has achieved great results in these two aspects and has successfully carved out a path of its own.

.

If the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles want a chance to break through, they can only introduce Hollywood elements slowly. After all, Hong Kong is only one of the Four Asian Tigers, and there is no way to attract the attention of superstars from all over the world. So variety shows are a good

entry point.

After all, there are many comedy stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and there are enough superstars to attract attention. No matter what type of variety show, there is a strong foundation. With a good plan, even if you find a second-rate director, you can achieve good ratings.

"I really mentioned this. Uncle Liu meant to give it a try, but other people's feedback was not so positive." Fu Decai sighed.

As a shareholder of Haina, although he lives behind the scenes and even has his power reduced, he is obviously more informed about Haina than others.

After Yang Dongxu started variety shows overseas to help the Haina branch develop, Fu Decai noticed this new entertainment model. Later, at the end of last year, Haina signed a contract with Anhui Provincial Satellite TV to create an indoor variety show. Fu Decai felt that this might be a new entertainment model.

Not a bad idea, otherwise Yang Dongxu, who has always been a hands-off shopkeeper, would not pay so much attention to it.

But when he put forward this suggestion during the meeting, there were very few responses. The fundamental reason is still the same as mentioned before, the blood that the predators can still draw from the already thin Hong Kong entertainment industry.

The reality was not so bad that they couldn't change it when life and death were at stake. Only the Sixth Uncle had a long-term vision, and it was obviously impossible for them alone to change the direction of this big ship.

In fact, this knot is not only in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but also in the mainland entertainment industry in later generations. Apart from the factor of sentiment, compared to the old actors, the acting skills of the new generation of young actors are still young and need time to hone. Yang Dongxu will admit it.

But at the very least, you don’t have the professionalism for filming, what can you say?

So in a few years, the mainland entertainment industry will be somewhat similar to that of Hong Kong and Taiwan. Although the popularity of variety shows has made some people famous, and there are dozens or hundreds of various TV series and movies a year, only a few stars of the younger generation are accepted by the public.

outside.

The rest are basically based on various debates and entertainment headlines, or even simply by surfing traffic. There are many more celebrities who earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions than the older generation of stars, but if you exclude the young people who scroll through their mobile phones to read gossip news, it is

Know these people beyond.

Let’s talk about the masterpieces of those who make movies...

After staying in Yanjing for a few days, Yang Dongxu flew up. Although Yanjing is where he started, he undoubtedly feels more comfortable in the economic center than in the political center.

Therefore, except that Haina's headquarters is still in Yanjing, although he has a lot of assets in Yanjing, most of his business is concentrated in the economically developed areas in the south. For example, Hurricane, Huaxiu, Dongxu, and even the newly established

Xuri Technology and so on.

The headquarters building of Hurricane Construction started last year and is expected to be completed in the second half of next year. It will be put into use in March 2001. The total design is 108 floors. It is the tallest building currently under construction in Shanghai. It surpasses the Syringe which was just completed in April this year.

The 88-story Jin Mao Tower.

The hurricane construction in the new year is not a big deal. Basically, it is centered around the construction of the headquarters building, and then continues to digest the land under the Pudong circle in previous years.

As for the previously formulated development plan of Wanda Plaza, it is slowly advancing at a rate of 1 to 2 buildings per year. Although the operation of Wanda Plaza has brought a lot of income to Wanda, it has also laid a lot of hidden dangers.

For example, Wanda's high debt ratio has been pushed up by the Wanda Plazas.

Yang Dongxu dare not say that all the areas in this circle have been circled, but he basically has a very solid foundation. Therefore, it is convenient to expand in the territory, and his choices can be more rational and analyzed from the perspective of profit, rather than non-stop.

Racing around places brings burden to oneself.
